As David and Ian mentioned TechDis have some pages on the subject including
a set of 7 easy to follow guidelines which link to the WAI web pages and
also have educationally specific comments, for instance how to lay out Maths
equations on web pages etc. Please go to http://www.techdis.ac.uk/seven/.
There are also several advice pages for each subject and links to different
software programs for testing pages as well a guide to using clear written
language.
http://easi.cc leads to a webcast by Laurie Harrison from the University of
Toronto who talks about the latest in
Web evaluation tools.

Hi
Sorry Ian
I'm inclined to disagree. There is a mind boggling array of information
on the WAI site (which refers you to the W3C guidelines) and TechDis is
not particularly easy to navigate either (in my opinion).
There's a real need for a simple list of do's and dont's for those who
never made it to post-grad study in IT.
Regards
Peter Hill
